Milan held the first test match as part of pre-season training. The sparring match against Viennese Rapid was the first match that the Italian club played under the leadership of former Shakhtar Donetsk coach Paulo Fonseki.
As usual in similar situations, the coaching staff gave the opportunity to play to all football players who are in the team’s location. Alessandro Florenzi scored Milan’s first goal in the summer off-season, but shortly before the final whistle, the Austrians managed to restore the balance – 1:1.
Milan will play their next test match against Manchester City on July 28.
